Overview

‘Blip and the Seat of Arthur’ tells the exciting and comic story of 12 yr old Billy Dobbs, better known as ‘Blip’, who is shocked to learn he’s been chosen to save the world!

It doesn’t seem a wise choice of hero; Blip’s very small, very fat, and has chronic health problems, but, because of his disability, he happens to look like the aliens who are about to invade the Earth. Blip is sent to another dimension to try and stop the invasion.

Although a very reluctant hero, Blip shows that lack of age, size or health is no barrier to true courage. On his adventures, Blip meets a whole variety of unbelievably weird characters, including a time-traveling King Arthur who’s been living beneath the local cemetery! Blip comes to realize what a very strange universe we all live in.

Young and old alike will enjoy reading this endearing, exciting, suspenseful and hilarious adventure story. Along with Blip’s partner, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the two of them set about saving our Earth from ‘Grackrots,’ a powerful alien species from another dimension who are just about to invade Blip’s home. What can one very small, fat, young boy with chronic health problems possibly do to stop an alien invasion and save our Earth? Read the book and find out--you won't stop laughing!

About the Author

Bill Henry Edge has been a professional artist, caricaturist, illustrator and cartoonist for most of his working life. He taught art and creative writing at three colleges in England.

His youngest son, Thomas, was born with a long list of congenital health problems. Despite all his problems, he’s a bright and witty young man, very positive in his outlook. Tom is Blip.

Bill wanted to write a children’s book with Blip (Tom) as the main character, to show that being physically handicapped doesn’t have to stop someone from being a hero. He wrote ‘Blip and the Seat of Arthur’ as exciting, funny and upbeat as possible, to tell the story so it will make the reader laugh out loud on almost every page.
